Chapter 587: Chapter 18: Gambling with Life_2
Even if it hadn’t been for the Daoist Lord holding back, that world would have been erased to a large extent.
“Wang Sheng has been erased, but this time because of my intervention, the interdimensional channel sustained damage and reverted to its original state, and can only allow a relatively weaker being of the Eighth Realm to go for now. Of course, the interdimensional channel will slowly recover over time, and the choice is yours.”
The Daoist Lord’s voice was calm, as though he had merely done something trivial.
Yet, the five True Monarchs dared not show any disrespect.
This time the Daoist Lord had taken action, and they had witnessed the gap between them.
“Daoist Lord, one from the Eighth Realm is sufficient, Wang Sheng was the only problem in that world. With Wang Sheng eliminated by you, there is nothing to fear,” said Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch. He was often arrogant, but could not be so in front of the Daoist Lord. Although they were from the same era, the gap was simply too vast.
The other True Monarchs shared the same thought.
With Wang Sheng eradicated, World No.1 was nothing but fish on the chopping block!
Even the Daoist Lord subconsciously nodded. He shared this belief; otherwise, he would not have paid the price to intervene.
“Decide among yourselves whether to send one person now or wait for the interdimensional channel to recover and send more. It’s your choice.”
After speaking, the Daoist Lord left directly.
This act of intervention was not only about the sacrifice of four Daoist Lords.
He himself could not leave this world; the cost of intervening across worlds was significant, and the Starry Sky Rules had already meted out their punishment.
If not handled properly, even he would sustain significant injuries.
Waiting for the Daoist Lord to leave, the remaining five True Monarchs of the Chaotic Realm fell into silence.
Although the Daoist Lord had helped them eliminate the strongest enemy, they had paid a price fourfold.
Since the opening of the interdimensional channel, four True Monarchs had perished.
Kui Tian, Heavenly Demon, and Heaven Illusion—all dead!
Thousands of years of accumulation had halved in an instant.
And to this point, they had all realized that the deaths of True Monarchs Kui Tian, Heavenly Demon, and Heaven Illusion… could perhaps have been avoided.
No True Monarch dared say it, but they couldn’t help feeling sorrow for the loss.
Finally, Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch spoke, “I don’t want to speak about what’s in your hearts, but you must know why we must invade. We are not just after so-called resources, but also our own preservation… for this purpose, all sacrifices are acceptable.”
“Today it was them, tomorrow it could be us!”
“Both the Daoist Lord and mother have given us a choice!”
True Monarchs, as the higher-ups of a world, knew many truths, and Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch, being the oldest, even more so.
His words awakened all the present True Monarchs.
“We understand now, dwelling on these matters now is pointless. Let’s consider our actions regarding World No.1. The strongest has already gone; that world poses no threat now, and there is much to do…”
Someone spoke, bringing the conversation back to the main topic.
“Not only that, but be aware that other worlds have their eyes on World No.1; we must also have regulations when facing that world.”
“What regulations for that world? They’re probably scared out of their wits by now!” a True Monarch scoffed. Faced with the Ninth Realm’s intervention, no other world in this region dared make a move, except for theirs.
What Ten Thousand Beasts True Monarch referred to was, of course, the world where Seven Emotions Monarch resided.
The fact was just so. This world had completely withdrawn, not daring to come near Wang Sheng’s world. The once precious channels had all been severed.
But there was another problem to face.
“Wasn’t it said that the Ninth Realm of the Chaotic Realm couldn’t leave its own world? How can it still take action and eradicate two from the Eighth Realm in a flash?”
He had been able to see the situation on the other side through Seven Emotions Monarch’s clone.
But just now, the clone of Seven Emotions Monarch had suddenly disappeared.
Before vanishing, it muttered “Ninth Realm.”
Piecing together the final images, they could guess what had happened.
Chaotic Realm Ninth Realm had taken action!
Not only had a True Monarch perished, but the threat was the main issue.
“This entire region could rest easy and develop slowly because the only Ninth Realm couldn’t act freely. Even leaving the world was a problem, and as long as we withstood the Chaotic Realm Eighth Realm, all was well. But now, the situation has changed…”
That the Chaotic Realm Ninth Realm had an issue was well known to all worlds and planets in the region.
Should this problem be resolved, their fate would not be a good one.
They were no longer considering the Planet Will; the threat of the Ninth Realm was paramount.
After a moment of silence, another True Monarch spoke, “We have always ignored an issue before, but now we must take it seriously. We all know the problem of that Ninth Realm, but even so, he has taken action. Is there a possibility… that invading a world could offer him benefits that far exceed the cost?”
“For instance, resolving his own inability to leave the world!”
This was yet another profoundly distressing piece of news.
But this speculation was not just wild guessing; it was highly plausible.
“Whether true or not, we absolutely cannot let the Chaotic Realm prevail… get ready, and contact other worlds!”
No True Monarch objected.
Worlds are naturally hostile due to the Starry Sky Rules.
But faced with a greater threat, all these could be set aside.
“We absolutely cannot let the Chaotic Realm succeed!”
All the powerful worlds were seeking out undeveloped, weaker worlds, but if they didn’t take this seriously now, all worlds would be in danger.
…
The entire region where the Chaotic Realm was located started to pay attention because of the Ninth Realm’s intervention.
Meanwhile, Huangtian, who might need to confront the Ninth Realm directly, was indeed the epitome of calm.
